Drink coasters are a high-impact inexpensive marketing tool.

Coasters as a print medium are one of the most powerful tools for getting your message across.

Coasters work well because the same people see them repeatedly and new people are always coming into contact with them.

Often marked with your company logo or name and details, the main goal of printed promotional products is to increase brand awareness and identity. Different from your everyday business card or flyer, promotional products such as personalized coasters are useful, very effective and usually kept around for months and sometimes years, which of course is the overall objective.

Your brand is the most powerful tool in your toolbox! Coasters are a unique, useful mini-billboard to promote your product or message. Coasters are often passed around and given away increasing overall impression rates while reinforcing the message every time the item is used. No other form of media can allow the advertiser to so closely tie a benefit to the recipient.

Coasters can be changed as quickly as your targeted promotions, and re-ordered for speedy delivery in no time at all.

Beer Coasters are available in a variety of thickness. Most of the custom personalized coasters you see in restaurants are 60pt (medium-weight) or 80pt (heavy-weight). Our light-weight 40pt coasters are typically used for promotions and mailings.

Coasters are practical, inexpensive, and placed properly can be very visible to your target audience. Custom designed coasters can be specifically used to target different segments of your market. 

More than just a drink coaster, they can also be custom designed as tabletop games with pop-out pieces! Now, how cool is that?

Coasters are a very inexpensive way to get your logo or message to your customers. 

When they're already in your bar or restaurant, your customers will see your message or logo every time they pick up their drink.

Think how many times you might order a drink at a restaurant. How many times do you look down to lift that glass revealing the coaster beneath?

Your message is directly in front of the consumer for an average 60 minutes during a restaurant visit. That’s a lot of impressions. But they can be used in other ways as well! Have you thought of handing out “coupon” coasters your customers can exchange for a free or discounted drink or appetizer? You could use them to publicize a special event or to advertise a new product. You could even use them as tickets for an event! The ideas are endless. If it can be printed, it can be imprinted on a coaster!

We offer pulpboard coasters in round or square shapes, as well as several special shapes. We can imprint with one or two spot colors or -- for large orders -- in full color. And we can do custom shapes for your logo! Our discounted prices mean that these colorful little billboards are great value for your advertising dollar!
